Until the end of the match, in which Frankovski and Majecki were given yellow cards, the result did not change, so penalties were required.
The Polish goalkeeper of Monaco turned out to be the hero in the eleven-match series. The 24-year-old goalkeeper, a reserve player in the league, saved two shots – Wesley Said and Adrian Thomason.
Frankovski converted his effort, but four Lance players failed to do so – two of them hitting wide and Majecki didn't have to intervene. The guests, who made three mistakes, eventually won 6-5 in the penalty shootout and went to the 1/16 finals.
